Are there any school records you could try for the daughter?
Unfortunately, there are no consolidated immigration records or passenger lists held in the UK for this period.
Alien arrivals were recorded under the provisions of the Aliens Act 1836, and the relatively few surviving lists and certificates are on Ancestry (England, Alien Arrivals, 1810-1811, 1826-1869). They are not ‘complete’ in any sense, relatively few first names are given, and it can be hard to identify people.
The Hamburg Passenger lists start in 1850, for passengers sailing from Hamburg for the UK and (mainly) the USA. These are in German, the early ones are hard to read and are heavily mistranscribed by Ancestry (Hamburg Passenger Lists, 1850-1934).
Is yours the family in Birmingham in 1861?
